I've built up these boundaries far too long The only things I've ever let slip Even the faintest idea of what I feel Would be my eyes And now my words, I can't get you off my mind It's like you've been stitched there My eyes can't help but drift Over the ocean painted colors of your eyes The golden shimmer in the highlights of your hair The specific placement of each freckle My eyes play connect the dots Scanning over the aesthetics of them I must stop. But no matter how many times I've begged To lose these feelings This yearning for something I could never have You hook me back onto you like heroin I want to just confess it all to you, So that maybe the rejection could end my heart's bleeding But I'm afraid, That you will keep my heart regardless
